Then the conversation got more personal: Jones gave Irvin her perspective of working in community development in New Orleans both before and after Hurricane Katrina, and Irvin shared his story of growing up as a black man in New Orleans with questions of self-identity. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYoung black men are perpetually trying to figure out who they are supposed to be, because the representations both in our neighborhoods and schools are, a lot of the time, negative,\u201d Irvin says, citing high rates of incarceration and unemployment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irvin and Jones came up with a potential solution: getting more black men into the classroom. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brothers Empowered 2 Teach: Recruiting Black Men as Teachers | Creator Awards | WeWork\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rX7XECKz9iY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s a particular demographic, even within the demographic of black men, who aren\u2019t attached to their academic experience,\u201d says Irvin, 36. \u201cCollege is something they\u2019re told to do, but not with any purpose behind it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, Irvin and Jones founded <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.be2t.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brothers Empowered to Teach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a nonprofit that urges people of color\u2014particularly black men\u2014to explore careers in education. It seeks to generate a network of teachers who serve as role models for the next generation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting with just seven fellows in 2014, the organization has since grown to have over 40 participants between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. It has partnered with over 10 schools across New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and four graduates of the program teach in New Orleans public schools. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irvin himself is a former substitute teacher, a job he held while coaching high school football. He discovered that he had a special connection with many of the kids.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHaving grown up in some of those same neighborhoods that they did, there was a cultural connection,\u201d says Irvin. \u201cIt started to seem like I was meant to do this work.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-30489\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/07\/WeWork-Creator-Awards-Brothers-Empowered-to-Teach-2-800x571.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30489\"\/><figcaption>Larry Irvin of Brothers Empowered to Teach gets a standing ovation at the Austin Creator Awards.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organization offers two programs for future educators: a one-year program tailored toward college graduates and those changing careers, and a three-year fellowship geared toward current college students. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organization\u2019s teachers get together on Saturdays for professional and personal development workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have intimate conversations about things like redefining what masculinity looks like, around male-female gender relationships, and around sexual orientation,\u201d says Irvin. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to create a better version of the individual, which in turn turns them into a great educator.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brothers Empowered to Teach got a big boost last year at WeWork\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/creator\/news\/top-winners-austin-creator-awards-announce-hiring\/\">Austin Creator Awards<\/a>. When it was announced that the organization had won $130,000, Irvin was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 2,750 people.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A WeWork member, Irvin uses the company\u2019s spaces when he travels, especially to cities like Austin and Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Brothers Empowered to Teach has so far worked with only male teachers, the organization recently opened up 30 percent of its seats to women of color.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is really beautiful to see our fellows attached to something, approaching education with fervor and excitement,\u201d Irvin says. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to change the narrative and reignite a lost reverence for the education profession.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Orleans-based nonprofit Brothers Empowered to Teach urges black men
